Peru is home to more than 80% of the world's alpacas and reaffirms its leadership in fiber production

Peru currently maintains its position as the global leader in alpaca husbandry, housing over 80% of the world's total alpaca population. This sector serves as a primary economic pillar for thousands of families residing in the country's high-Andean regions.

The industry's significance is highlighted during the National Alpaca Day, underscoring the country's ongoing commitment to the production of high-quality fiber. This dominance in the global market reinforces Peru's role as the principal international reference for the sustainable development and commercialization of alpaca-related products.
